Children still mining cobalt for gadget batteries in Congo
A CBS News investigation of child labor in cobalt mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo has revealed that tens of thousands of children are growing up without a childhood today – two years after a damning Amnesty report about human rights abuses in the cobalt trade was published. The Amnesty report first revealed that cobalt mined by children was ending up in products from prominent tech companies including Apple, Microsoft, Tesla and Samsung.
There's such sensitivity around cobalt mining in the DRC that a CBS News team traveling there recently was stopped every few hundred feet while moving along dirt roads and seeing children digging for cobalt. From as young as 4 years old, children can pick cobalt out of a pile, and even those too young to work spend much of the day breathing in toxic fumes.
What's life like for kids mining cobalt for our gadgets?
So, what exactly is cobalt, and what are the health risks for those who work in the DRC's cobalt mining industry?
What is cobalt?
Cobalt – a naturally occurring element – is a critical component in lithium-ion, rechargeable batteries. In recent years, the growing global market for portable electronic devices and rechargeable batteries has fueled demand for its extraction, Amnesty said in its 2016 report. In fact, many top electronic and electric vehicle companies need cobalt to help power their products.
The element is found in other products as well.
"Cobalt-containing products include corrosion and heat-resistant alloys, hard metal (cobalt-tungsten-carbide alloy), magnets, grinding and cutting tools, pigments, paints, colored glass, surgical implants, catalysts, batteries, and cobalt-coated metal (from electroplating)," says the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
More than half of the world's supply of cobalt comes from the DRC, and 20 percent of that is mined by hand, according to Darton Commodities Ltd., a London-based research company that specializes in cobalt.
Health risks of chronic exposure
According to the CDC, "chronic exposure to cobalt-containing hard metal (dust or fume) can result in a serious lung disease called 'hard metal lung disease'" – a kind of pneumoconiosis, meaning a lung disease caused by inhaling dust particles. Inhalation of cobalt particles can cause respiratory sensitization, asthma, decreased pulmonary function and shortness of breath, the CDC says.
The health agency says skin contact is also a significant health concern "because dermal exposures to hard metal and cobalt salts can result in significant systemic uptake."
"Sustained exposures can cause skin sensitization, which may result in eruptions of contact dermatitis," a red, itchy skin rash, the CDC says.
Despite the health risks, researchers with Amnesty International found that most cobalt miners in Congo lack basic protective equipment like face masks, work clothing and gloves. Many of the miners the organization spoke with for its 2016 report – 90 people in total who work, or worked, in the mines – complained of frequent coughing or lung problems. Cobalt mining's dangerous impact on workers and the environment
Some women complained about the physical nature of the work, with one describing hauling 110-pound sacks of cobalt ore. "We all have problems with our lungs, and pain all over our bodies," the woman said, according to Amnesty.
Moreover, miners said unsupported mining tunnels frequently give way, and that accidents are common.
Miners know their work is dangerous, Todd C. Frankel wrote late last month in The Washington Post.
"But what's less understood are the environmental health risks posed by the extensive mining," he reported. "Southern Congo holds not only vast deposits of cobalt and copper but also uranium. Scientists have recorded alarming radioactivity levels in some mining regions. Mining waste often pollutes rivers and drinking water. The dust from the pulverized rock is known to cause breathing problems. The mining industry's toxic fallout is only now being studied by researchers, mostly in Lubumbashi, the country's mining capital."
"These job are really desired"
Despite the dangers and risks of working as miners in the cobalt industry, at least of the some miners in the Congo "love their jobs," according to Frankel.
"When I talked to the miners there, none of them want to lose their jobs or give up their jobs. They love their jobs," Frankel said Tuesday, speaking on CBSN. "In a country like Congo, mining is one of the few decently paying jobs to be had there, and so they want to hold onto these jobs."
They also want fair treatment, decent pay, and some safety, "and they would love for their kids to not work in the mines," he said.
"It's a poverty problem," Frankel said. "These parents I talked to – they don't want their kids working in these mines. The problem is that their school fees – schools cost money, and you know, food costs money, and they sort of need their kids to work in there."
Poverty also drives children into the mines instead of school – an estimated 40,000 of them work in brutal conditions starting at very young ages.
The thousands of miners who work in tunnels searching for cobalt in the country "do it because they live in one of the poorest countries in the world, and cobalt is valuable," Frankel wrote in the Washington Post article.
"Not doing enough"
CBS News spoke with some of the companies that use cobalt in their lithium-ion batteries. All of the companies acknowledged problems with the supply chain, but said they require suppliers to follow responsible sourcing guidelines. Apple, an industry leader in the fight for responsible sourcing, said walking away from the DRC "would do nothing to improve conditions for the people or the environment."
Read company responses here
Amnesty said in November, however, that "major electronics and electric vehicle companies are still not doing enough to stop human rights abuses entering their cobalt supply chains."
"As demand for rechargeable batteries grows, companies have a responsibility to prove that they are not profiting from the misery of miners working in terrible conditions in the DRC," the organization said. "The energy solutions of the future must not be built on human rights abuses."
An estimated two-thirds of children in the region of the DRC that CBS News visited recently are not in school. They're working in mines instead.
CBS News' Debora Patta spoke with an 11-year-old boy, Ziki Swaze, who has no idea how to read or write but is an expert in washing cobalt. Every evening, he returns home with a dollar or two to provide for his family.
"I have to go and work there," he told Patta, "because my grandma has a bad leg and she can't."
He said he dreams of going to school, but has always had to work instead.
"I feel very bad because I can see my friends going to school, and I am struggling," he said.
Amnesty says "it is widely recognized internationally that the involvement of children in mining constitutes one of the worst forms of child labour, which governments are required to prohibit and eliminate."

You’re right, Mrs, eating batteries is not good for you.
Seriously, though, this is the most obnoxious anti-reality take on medication. People with Bipolar Disorder have reduced GABA neurotransmission, which causes cell death in the brain.
Lithium increases those missing GABA and seratonin levels. Your body already needed those chemicals to function, which is why it doesn’t, hence why you get bipolar disorder in the first place!
Of course you need medication to function, that’s why medication exists. To treat a chemical imbalance in your body. If you can’t handle that, please at least consider not spreading ridiculous misinformation on the internet.
Source: Therapeutic Application of Lithium in Bipolar Disorders: A Brief Review
I like the fact that the two most well-known uses for lithium are treating people who are bipolar, and making batteries, which are also bipolar but in a completely different way.
#also lithium ion batteries can also be bipolar#don’t worry it’s a certain type of lithium ion batteries#system speaks#medical education#bipolar disorder#anti vaxxer warning#shitcraft

Battery Thermal Management: The Crucial Role of Temperature Control
In modern electric vehicles (EVs), the lithium-ion battery module pack takes center stage, influencing an EV's performance, range, and safety. However, these crucial power sources are sensitive to temperature extremes. Like people, batteries have their comfort zone, typically operating optimally between 15°C and 40°C. Yet, the reality of automotive environments exposes batteries to temperatures ranging from a frigid -20°C to a sweltering 55°C. What's the solution? Give the battery an air conditioner, and you get battery thermal management, which accomplishes three essential functions: heat dissipation, heating, and temperature consistency.
Heat Dissipation
When temperatures soar, batteries can experience a dramatic loss of life (resulting in capacity degradation) and an elevated risk of thermal runaway. Thus, effective heat dissipation is vital when the battery becomes excessively hot.
Heating
Conversely, when temperatures plummet, the battery's capacity may be reduced and performance weakened. Charging the battery in this frigid state can even pose a risk of thermal runaway due to potential internal short circuits. So, it's crucial to warm up or insulate the battery when it gets too cold.
Temperature Consistency
Think back to the old air conditioner in your childhood home. It would blast cold air upon startup and then take a break. Most modern air conditioners now use frequency conversion and even airflow distribution to maintain temperature consistency. Similarly, power batteries strive to minimize spatial temperature differences, ensuring minimal variance in cell temperature. Temperature consistency is paramount to battery performance and safety.
Effects of Low Temperatures on EVs and Batteries
As the heart of an EV, the power battery has a profound impact on its performance, affecting aspects such as range, acceleration, and service life. Safety is also a top priority. Battery performance is deeply intertwined with temperature, and cold climates can significantly hinder an EV's operation.
For instance, electric vehicle owners in colder regions often notice a significant drop in mileage during winter. In some cases, the range can plummet to as low as 70% of its usual capacity. Many drivers resist using cabin heaters to conserve mileage.
Low temperatures not only reduce an EV's battery capacity but also inhibit its discharge capabilities. At extremely low temperatures, the electrolyte inside the battery may freeze, leading to a severe reduction in power output.
Lithium-ion batteries are particularly susceptible to temperature extremes. At lower temperatures, the chemical reactions within the battery slow down, resulting in decreased performance and range. Charging in freezing conditions can also lead to the formation of lithium deposits on the battery's negative electrode, potentially puncturing the battery diaphragm and causing a short circuit. The safety implications of charging batteries at low temperatures are significant.
Battery Thermal Management: A Technological Solution
Battery thermal management is the solution to many of these challenges. This technology aims to maintain battery temperature within the ideal range. The approach includes both heating and cooling, to optimize battery performance.
There are several methods used in battery heating:
Battery Natural Heating: The heat generated during battery operation, discharging, or charging can increase the battery's temperature. However, this method can be slow and is rarely used in modern electric vehicles.
Blower Heating: Blowing hot or cold air into the battery pack through an external air conditioner is another method. This approach demands a carefully designed air duct and can result in uneven temperature distribution within the battery pack.
Heating Elements in the Battery Pack: These are composed of heating elements and circuits. Two common heating elements are the Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) and Heating Film. PTC offers advantages like safety, high thermal conversion efficiency, and rapid heating.
Circulating Liquid Heating: Liquid-cooled battery packs have become the mainstream option. This method offers uniform heat distribution, safety, and reliability. It usually features a system to facilitate heat dissipation, ensuring even temperature rises throughout the battery pack.
Conclusion
Battery thermal management is not just a luxury; it's a necessity for modern electric vehicles. In a world of varying climates, maintaining optimal battery temperature is a key factor in enhancing performance, ensuring safety, and prolonging battery life. As technology continues to evolve, battery thermal management will continue to play a crucial role in advancing the electric vehicle industry, offering the promise of efficient and reliable clean energy transportation for the future.
